Sunny side up with an AMC loan
David and Tina Orgee have been able to realise their
dream using an AMC Loan achieved through Carver
Knowles, to help fund their business growth.
The AMC, or Agricultural Mortgage Corporation is a unique
organisation in that it specialises in providing funds
exclusively for all things rural, relating to agriculture,
horticulture, equine pursuits and more or less any other land
based commercial venture.
The Orgee’s family business is based on Redcastle Farm which
is owned by David’s parents. The whole holding is farmed in
partnership between David and his parents, but David and Tina
farm the poultry as their own business on the farm as a way of
diversifying.
David and Tina set up their poultry farm business in 1999 and
have a contract with Noble Foods to supply Happy Eggs from
their two hen houses, which hold 10,000 birds per building.
The new loan is focused on maximising profitability from their existing space rather than expanding the size of the
buildings. It will enable them to modernise equipment in the laying buildings, and reduce electricity costs to boost
profitability. They’ll reduce their turnaround time in between flocks by a week, and be able to house an additional
10,000 birds by installing a multi-tier system.
In addition, a new solar array will reduce the heat and power costs of the poultry buildings, as well as taking
advantage of the feed-in tariffs that will provide an extra income to the business.
AMC Loans are a good way of injecting capital into your business, to boost productivity and improve efficiency to grow
your land based business and improve long-term profitability and growth.
We are experts in business planning for rural enterprises, so if you are looking to boost profitability,
make efficiency savings or sure up your long term sustainability then make sure you get in touch with
us today.
